About Viaggio nel Medioevo

Viaggio nel Medioevo is the great historical reenactment that every August brings Finalborgo, the medieval village of Finale Ligure in the province of Savona, back to the heart of the 15th century. For four days, the village is populated by costumed figures, shows, a medieval market, and concludes with a spectacular final battle in the bed of the Aquila stream. A highlight event of the Finale summer, and an immersive journey into history, within the walls and palaces of one of Italy's most beautiful villages.

Finalborgo in the 15th Century

Viaggio nel Medioevo is the historical reenactment that transforms Finalborgo, the medieval village of Finale Ligure in the province of Savona, into an authentic fifteenth-century village every summer. The event is the highlight of the Finale summer and attracts a large audience each year.

Four Days of History

For four days, the village is populated by costumed figures, ladies and knights, artisans, and soldiers. The squares and alleys host shows, a rich medieval market, taverns, and scenes of life from a bygone era. The climax is the final battle, fought in the evocative bed of the Aquila stream, which concludes the reenactment with a highly impactful spectacle.

Finalborgo, the Perfect Setting

Considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Finalborgo, with its walls, historic palaces, and the Santa Caterina complex, offers an ideal setting for the reenactment. Walking through the alleys during Viaggio nel Medioevo means completely immersing yourself in another era.

The event is one of the high points of Finale Ligure's packed summer calendar, alongside concerts, festivals, and seaside celebrations.
